9. There will be an Uber for friends
朋友出租服务将上线
Need a date for a party or someone to hang with at a ballgame? Just share someone else's. Frog Design predicts the rise of “friendship as a service” in 2016. We liked that prediction so much we decided to borrow it. Isn't that what the sharing economy is all about?
想参加聚会、想打球但却苦于找不到伴吗?完全可以从别人那租一个来!据青蛙设计公司(Frog Design)预测,“朋友出租服务”将于2016年上线。有需求就可以租,这和“分享型经济”不是同一个道理吗?
10. Your next boss may be an algorithm
老板也许会是机器人
Artificial intelligence will continue to be baked into an increasing number of devices and services. More than that, though, entire companies may be built around self-running programs, with business decisions made without any human intervention. Think we're joking? The first decentralized organizations are already being developed for the Ethereum Frontier network. We have met our robotic overlords, and we'd like a 10 percent raise and more flex time, please.
人工智能技术将运用到更多的产品和服务中去。甚至整个公司都有可能实现自动运作。通过编排程序,商业决策或许不需要人的参与。这可不是开玩笑,以太坊(Ethereum)的Frontier平台就在实行分散性运作。这么说我们的老板也许会是机器人。那么请给我加薪百分之十再给我更多的弹性时间吧,老板!
